Hewitt has already tasted success at Dusk Till Dawn with her top three live results all coming at the home of U.K. poker here in Nottingham for a combined total of ��95,000.

Well-known faces Benny Glaser (3,500,000), Jack O'Neill (3,245,000), Dan Clark (2,905,000), Andy Hills (2,700,000), Andreas Olympios (2,370,000), partypoker ambassador Marcel Luske (2,180,000), Jonty Willis (1,965,000) and Tom Hall (770,000) also progressed.
